The North Carolina Tar Heels have been on a roll lately in winning six straight games. Also, the Tar Heels were able to pick up yet another victory in their last outing versus the NC State Wolfpack as this propelled them to third place within the ACC. Currently, they are only four games behind the Duke Blue Devils.

However, they halted a six-game skid versus the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at home in their last outing. And while the offense struggled, its defense allowed just 32% shooting while forcing 14 turnovers in the win.

North Carolina Tar Heels

Despite giving up 51% shooting for the Wolfpack while committing 17 turnovers on the night, UNC was able to shoot 57% as a team as they continued to string together tough victories within conference. However, the defense for the Heels must perform better if they are to win, moving forward, with contests with Duke and UVA looming.

The Tar Heels possesses more than one player that can impact a game. Luke Maye (15 ppg, 10 rebs) poured in 31 points in their win over the Wolfpack while Coby White (15 ppg, 4 ass) also pumped in 21 points as well.

Cameron Johnson (116 ppg, 5 rebs) has also stepped up his average to 20 points per game in the last four outings for UNC. On the other hand, Kenny Williams (9 ppg) has also upped his average lately in recording double-digits in four of the last five games for UNC.

Miami Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes received 15 points from Dejan Vasiljevic (11 ppg, 5 rebs) as he also pulled down 10 boards on the night verus the Fighting Irish.

Ebuka Izundu (11 ppg, 9 rebs) posted 17 points along with 9 boards in their win as well. Chris Lykes (17 ppg), leading scorer, has struggled during a disastrous stretch for Miami in averaging just 11 points per game in the last five for the Canes.

In all, Miami has struggled on both sides of the floor this season as inconsistency on offense has led to them being only 2-10 in the ACC.

Furthermore, they have also dropped four straight road games as their average loss was by 15 points.

The Hurricanes will be looking to atone for last month’s loss to UNC by nine points. Also, look for the Hurricanes to look to extend their momentum from their win over the Irish in taking down a Tar Heels team that continues to dominate at home. .
